The AL4CE2x5 FIFO memories are the advanced version of AL4CS2x5. This product series support additional functions, such as Bus-matching, Endian select and Retransmit, can benefit designing efforts. • • • • • High performance, low-power, FIFO(First-In First-Out) memory 256 x 18 bit I/O port (AL4CE205) 512 x 18 bit I/O port (AL4CE215) 1K x18 bit 1/O port (AL4CE225) 2K x18 bit I/O port (AL4CE235) 4K x18 bit I/O port (AL4CE245) High clock speed (133MHz) Fully independent read/write access Retransmit the data (reread the data) Empty, Full, Half Full and programmable Almost Empty, Almost Full flags Output enable control (data skipping) User selectable input and output bus width Big/Little-Endian word format selectable 3.3V±10% power supply with 5V signal tolerant input Standard 64-pin TQFP and STQFP Ordering Information Part number AL4CE205, AL4CE215, AL4CE225, AL4CE235, AL4CE245 Package 64-pin plastic TQFP and STQFP Power Supply +3.3V±10% 48 33 49 32 AVERLOGIC AL4CE2X5 X-XX-XX XXXXX XXXX 64 17 1 16 TQFP, STQFP PACKAGE TOP VIEW /OE Input data bus (256,512, 1k ,2k, 4k) x18 Memory Array Input Buffer Output Buffer Output data bus WCLK /WEN /LD Write Control Logic Read Control Logic Write Pointer Read Pointer RCLK /REN /FF Offset Regissers Flag Logic /RS Reset Logic Control Logic Figure 1. AL4CE2x5 FIFO Block Diagram The 18bit input and output ports operate independently at a maximum speed of 133 MHz. The built-in address decoder and pointer managing circuits provide a straightforward bus interface to serially read/write memory that reduces inter-chip design efforts. The AL4CE2x5 embedded memory array and high performance process technologies with extended controller functions (read skip, fixed and programmable status flags.. etc.) offer flexible memory management. These FIFOs support up to 18bit input and output data bus-width that is controlled by separate clock and enable signals respectively. The input data is acquired at each rising edge of a free running write clock while a write enable control pin is asserted. The output data is available after each rising edge of a free running read clock while a read enable and output enable control pins are asserted. When output enable (/OE) is LOW, the data output bus is active. If /OE is HIGH, the output data bus will be in a high-impedance. This signal can control whether the data is going to be skipped during the read operation. /EF /HF /PAF /PAE /BEB /RT /IW /OW software to manipulate the FIFO more easily or to do retransmit operation. Bus-Matching feature can flexibly configure input and output bus width. The chip can automatically convert the input data bus width to match up output data bus width by packing or unpacking the data. A Big-Endian/Little-Endian data word format is provided to invert the read-in bytes sequence for output. And the Retransmit function allows data to be reread from the FIFO more than once. These chips are available as a 64pin TQFP and STQFP Package DISTRIBUTED BY: The FIFO Full/Empty, Half-Full and programmable Almost Full/Almost Empty flags are powerful functions that can help controlling AVERLOGIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
